A Democrat is for gun control is as new as ‘dog bites man’.

No problem, fully automatic weapons with bayonet mounts that are now in use by militaries around the world.

Of course that would not include any AR15’s.

Two days ago, it was 22 dead and 50 wounded. The numbers have improved substantially, but are still ugly. What happened there?

In this case, I hope it cost him his job.

“I ask for your forgiveness and support as I seek to put an end to these terrible shootings.”
What makes him think that banning so called assault weapons will end these shootings?

Knives are assault weapons - so are machetes, hammers, drills... just about anything can be used to “assault” people. Seems to me they should be going after Law Enforcement who had this guy on their radar and did nothing.

ONE Good Guy/Gal/Yet To Decide with a NUG would have ended that Yahoos day, with justified dispatch.

Where were the CCW folks?

Boy, exploitation of this disaster is making some big money for the Dung Beetle Party. Playin’ hell with the Bill of Rights though.

The elites want to take guns from the little people. They want to remove the little people’s ability to protect themselves. That is all.

Golden always served in a district that voted red for POTUS. Should be beatable. Never happens. Maine is into their guns.

Well I agree this outcome was a consequence of the right to bear arms. If it was a duty to bear arms, armed citizens could have stopped this.

Approval of the RTKBA was taking an upswing after the attack on Israel. How fortunate we had a major mass shooting to tamp things down.

HOW ABOUT A BAN ON MENTALLY ILL PERSONS FREE TO ROAM AS THEY WISH????

NO GUN OPERATES ON IT’S OWN.

NONE

What if they decide posting in all caps is a sign of mental illness? (They might be correct.)
